Wellington Silva will link up with Arsenal next season

The Brazilian youngster has spent the last four seasons on loan after failing to get a work permit in England.

But the paperwork came through in October and Silva is hoping to have an impact during the next campaign.

The player briefly trained with Arsene Wenger's squad at the start of the season and admits Santi Cazorla and Mesut Ozil impressed him greatly.

But he believes his game is more similar to Sanchez or Oxlade-Chamberlain and is hopeful of learning from the pair.

He told Sambafoot: "I did not have much training with the first team but the player who most impressed me is Cazorla.

"Ozil is also an excellent player.

"Alexis Sanchez and [Oxlade-]Chamberlain are also impressive although I've never trained with them.

"They have characteristics similar to mine: speed and technicality.

"I hope when I get back, they will help me out."
